Summerleaze Beach

Summerleaze has a unique appeal, not least because it is less than five minutes’ walk from the centre of Bude and the large car park leads directly to the sand dunes. The river, with its bobbing fishing boats, flanks the wide, sandy beach that is sheltered by the impressive breakwater, making the beach particularly popular with families and surfers. Beach Huts are bookable daily or weekly from £10 - £20 per day.

Level access with a flat viewing area, toilets, RNLI shop, sandy play area and beach café all add to the charm of Summerleaze. Another gem is the sea pool nestled at the foot of the cliffs. Part man-made and part natural rock pool, the salt-water pool, cleaned daily by the tide, has enticed swimmers since it opened in 1930.

Sand chairs are available from Summerleaze Beach Office (June-September)

Sand chairs are provided by Cornwall Mobility in partnership with Disability Cornwall and Isles of Scilly.

Lifeguard cover is provided on the beach and at the pool over the Easter weekend and from the 5th of May until the 30th of September. There is also weekend lifeguard cover in October and full cover from the 20th-28th of October (2018).
